The Embankment  

On the banks of the River Great Ouse in Bedford, a short stroll from Panacea Museum and The Higgins Bedford. The John Bunyan Museum is within easy walking distance, with St. Paul's Church, Bedford Park and Oasis Beach Pool a short drive away. Close to the city centre and about 13 miles from Woburn Safari Park—ideal for exploring town and countryside.

A boutique riverside inn with about 19–20 en-suite B&B rooms, including doubles with king beds, twins and family rooms. Select rooms (101, 102, 103 and 201) offer spectacular river views and a terrace vibe for special occasions. Rooms mix modern comforts—flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee makers and Wi‑Fi—with antique touches like gilt-framed mirrors and high-quality linen. There’s a fully wheelchair-accessible twin on the ground floor.

On-site restaurant and bar/lounge, complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout and free self-parking. Daily housekeeping, en-suite showers and complimentary toiletries are standard. Wake up to river-breeze mornings from view rooms and enjoy the terrace for a relaxed drink.

Popular with business travellers who want a friendlier alternative to big chains. Rooms include desks and complimentary Wi‑Fi; free on-site parking adds convenience.

An on-site restaurant serves local cuisine and an English breakfast daily from 7:00–11:30 for a fee. Wind down with a drink in the bar/lounge after a day of sightseeing or meetings.
